The AirTAC Airtac PEB T-Shaped Straight Thread Tee Connector PEB601D is a genuine male branch tee for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PEB601D is an AirTAC PEB male branch tee: a push-in fitting that takes a single Dia 6 mm tube into its chuck and splits the flow through two 1/8" PT male threaded outlets set at 90 degrees to the tube axis. Push the tube in and the stainless spring gasket grips it; press the release ring and it slides free. The male stud arrives with sealant already on the thread, so it screws straight into a port without extra tape or paste.
This is the resin and brass one-touch profile, not the metal BP line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa, vacuum down to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, and a service window of -20 to +70 C with soft nylon or polyurethane tubing. The D suffix makes this part genuinely black - on PEB series the body itself is recoloured, not just the POM release button as on the PC and POC straights - so the branch tee reads as part of a black-fitted machine rather than a grey add-on.

On an EPSON or FANUC robot end-of-arm tooling, the PEB601D splits a single Dia 6 mm supply drop into two 1/8" threaded legs feeding gripper valves on either side of the wrist, keeping the branch inside the arm's tight envelope.
A vacuum generator drawing down to -750 mmHg can share its supply through this branch tee: the Dia 6 mm tube carries the feed while one 1/8" stud serves the ejector and the other serves the cup-pressure sensor tap.
Where a SMC-style valve island offers only one spare 1/8" PT pilot port, the PEB601D branches it in two, letting a black-coloured fitting disappear visually against machine pipework while feeding a second function.
Both neighbours at the same 1/8" thread exist: the PEB401 steps down to Dia 4 mm tube for light pilot-air branches and compact sensor feeds, while the PEB801 steps up to Dia 8 mm when the branch must feed a cylinder at useful volume. Bore is what changes - flow capacity follows the tube, so oversize the branch rather than starve the actuator. If your port is larger, PEB602 pairs the same Dia 6 mm tube with a 1/4" PT stud instead.
Fit the branch where the geometry earns its keep: when one supply line must serve two destinations at right angles, a branch tee is neater than a union tee plus a male elbow. Check the tubing is exactly Dia 6 mm OD - a one-touch chuck sized for 6 mm will not seal on 1/4" (6.35 mm) hose, and the difference is easy to miss on an order sheet.
Quick checklist
It is rated 0-1.0 MPa working pressure (0-10 kgf/cm2), tolerates vacuum to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and works from -20 to +70 C. This SKU accepts Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing on a 1/8" PT male thread.
No. AirTAC ships the male PT stud with sealant already applied to the thread, so it seals on assembly; the M5 sizes in this catalogue instead use a sealing gasket. Simply check the port threads are clean and torque the brass stud home - over-wrapping tape on a pre-coated thread can push debris into the valve seat.
